How To Make A Pincushion Ring Tutorial By Alma Stoller

I just LOVE Alma Stoller's tutorial for making a pincushion ring. I'm definitely going to make a few of these.

How To Make A Pincushion Ring

Here's what Alma had to say about her tutorial: Inspired by the pincushion ring the adorable and insanely talented Mondo Guerra often wore on Project Runway, I decided to make my own.

A Wool Crazy Christmas Pincushion Pattern By Kaaren Johnston of The Painted Quilt

By now you know for sure that I just LOVE pincushions. Therefore, you have to know that there was no way I was going to avoid adding Kaaren Johnston's adorable "A Wool Crazy Christmas" pincushion to my "to do" list. In fact, I'm going to add it to the top of my rather lengthy "to do" list. Kaaren shared her wonderful pattern on her The Painted Quilt blog. I hope you enjoy making yours. I know I'm going to LOVE mine.

First Friday Freebie #15 - A Wool Crazy Christmas

Here's what Kaaren had to say about her pattern: It’s the First Friday of the month again. Where is the time going?

I took a much needed break yesterday from the packing, purging and sorting to rest and regroup. I can’t wait until the move is over and and we’re settled in our new home.

Thank goodness I was able to remain a project ahead with my FFF’s and this month’s design was completed just after we purchased our new/old home at the end of September. I knew I just wouldn’t have the time to work on the design once the packing began.

I designed this month’s FFF in anticipation of the upcoming holiday season. I hope you enjoy making A Wool Crazy Christmas as much as I did.

A short while later, in December of 2010, we moved from Eastern Ontario to the beautiful Annapolis Valley of Nova Scotia. Quilting, stitching, applique and most recently rug hooking have become my new passions. Oh, and did I mention that I love to make and collect pincushions and needlecases!

Needlebook Tutorial By Amy of nanaCompany

Who can resist an absolutely adorable needle-book. Especially when it's bright and cheery and has a birthday cake on the cover. I know that I can't. It's just so adorable I'm going to make a few as gifts. If you'd like to know what I'm talking about it's the needle-book tutorial that Amy has on her nanaCompany blog. I hope you enjoy Amy's tutorial.

needlebook tutorial by nanaCompany

Here's what Amy had to say about her tutorial: Yay! Here's a little tutorial on how I make my needlebooks. They're super easy, fast, and fun... so let's get started.

Amy's Bio - Hi, my name is Amy. I live in a small house near the ocean in Los Angeles with my three children and my awesome husband. We are a lively family but we live very quietly ~ I can honestly say that all five of us are homebodies, looking forward to returning home whenever we go out. But the fun thing I've discovered while looking through my camera these past years, is that there is a lot of beauty in our "everyday." And I'm looking forward to sharing with you my life as I create and explore new ways to find that beauty.

Completely self-taught in everything, I am a "see it- do it" kind of girl. And I love trying new things. Maybe someday I'll have a real style, but for now I love vintage and modern, girly and clean, and everything in between.

Huswif Needlecase Pattern By Kaaren Johnston of The Painted Quilt

It's not possible to resist a charming little clutch needle-case. At least it's impossible for me. So, I was happy to see that Kaaren Johnston had a wonderful pattern on her The Painted Quilt blog showing you how to make a Huswif needle-case. What a terrific gift this would make. I know quite a few crafters and sewers who would love getting one of these. How about you?

First Friday Freebie #12 - Huswif Needlecase

Here's what Kaaren had to say about her pattern: This month marks the One Year Anniversary of my First Friday Freebies. I can’t believe that a year has gone by already. Wow!

Next to pincushions, I L-O-V-E needlecases. Or maybe now needlecases have overtaken my pincushion madness? But that’s what happens when the word “ONE” does not exist in “one’s” vocabulary. *wink* Two…or more…of something you love is better than one…right?

If you guessed that this month’s FFF is a needlecase, you’re right. Here is my Huswif Needlecase, fastened shut with a vintage button..

Tomato Pincushion Tutorial By Kaaren Johnston of The Painted Quilt

If you love pincushions like I do then you'll be happy to see that Kaaren Johnston has another wonderful tutorial on her The Painted Quilt blog showing you how to make a tomato pincushion. Enjoy!

Tomato Pincushion Tutorial

Here's what Kaaren had to say about her tutorial: If you've dropped in by chance, then welcome to my first tutorial. Pull up a comfortable chair, grab a cup of tea...or coffee if you prefer...and follow along. If perhaps you're joining me because you have the same obsession with pincushions as I do, then welcome to my PA (Pincushions Anonymous) meeting. Tea and coffee are the beverages of the day.

At the outset, I would like to apologize for a few out-of-focus photos. I'm still learning about my camera and I think I just might have gotten a wee bit too close on some of them. Hopefully you'll still be able to follow along and if you have any questions at all, please don't hesitate to ask.

So without further ado, let's get started. What you'll need are scissors, fabric of your choosing, sewing needle and thread, florist's sand or polyester batting for stuffing, a 5" needle or any long needle, green cotton perle thread or 2 strands of green floss, green wool or felt and fabric glue.

Easy Needlebook Tutorial By Kaaren Johnston of The Painted Quilt

If ever there was an adorable little gift to give your sewing club pals, quilting buddies, crazy quilt club members, teachers, etc. it would have to be Kaaren Johnston's Easy Needlebook which she shows us all how to make on her The Painted Quilt blog. That is just adorable. I may just have to make an extra one just for me.

Easy Needlebook Tutorial

Here's what Kaaren had to say about her tutorial: 115 110 days until what you might ask? Why Christmas, of course!

Now I don’t want you all to get upset with me for the ‘gentle’ reminder, because I’m in the same boat as all of you. Before we know it, we’ll all be scrambling to get our gifts made, wrapped and in most cases sent off to far away places. So today I’m going to share with you not only a great way to use up some of your stash but also how to make some easy, quick and useful gifts.

I don’t know about you but I love charm packs because they give me an overall view of a complete range of fabrics at-a-glance and at a reasonable price. And now there are so many patterns available that are charm pack friendly which makes them even more ‘charming’.

.....And, if you wanted to make this project even easier, you don’t even have to piece it! You can stop at the stripping part or you can just use a plain piece of fabric for the outside. I’ll leave that part up to you.

Don’t you think they would make great stocking stuffers or little prezzies for your stitching buddies…or even as hostess gifts come holiday time? That’s what I’m going to do with mine!

Needlecase Free Tutorial By Kaaren Johnston of The Painted Quilt

Do you just love needle-cases like I do? If you do then you'll be happy to know that Kaaren Johnston has a wonderful tutorial on her The Painted Quilt blog showing you how to make a needle-case. Enjoy!

Needlecase Tutorial

Here's what Kaaren had to say about her tutorial: I have had several requests to purchase the needlecases that have appeared in earlier posts. Since I’m now retired and have the time to play and create at will, I’ve decided that I would rather continue to enjoy myself and leave the designing and selling to the ‘younger’ folks out there.

Having said that, I’ve been asked if I would consider doing a tutorial on my needlecase instead. Since I love to share, here it is.

Individual users may enlarge or reduce the size of the drawings for their personal use but may not alter them in any other way.

Make as many as you’d like, sell a million of them, show them on your blogs and make lots of money if that’s your ambition. All I ask is that you don’t make my designs into patterns to sell as your own creations…even if you adjust and or alter the measurements. Thanks for your understanding.

Poinsettia Brooch Free Tutorial by Colleen MacKinnon of Rag-A-Muffin Collectibles

I just love poinsettia's and love decorating packages with poinsettia's during the holiday season. There's just something about the bright red colors. Well, I was happy to find that Colleen MacKinnon of Rag-a-Muffin Collectibles had a wonderful tutorial on her Penny Rugs and More blog showing you how to make a Poinsettia brooch.

I am definitely going to make one, or two, maybe even three. They're just so bright and cheery. They're going to look lovely on my coats. Wouldn't you agree?

Poinsettia Brooch

Here's what Colleen had to say about her tutorial: Okay I missed the part when the calendar changed to December! Holy cow am I going to be busy this weekend. Time for thoughts of decorating and getting things ready for the season. Let me gift you with my method of making a poinsettia brooch, which could also be an ornament or a very nice accent on a gift package.

Colleen's bio - Having been active in craft shows, events and sales through local craft stores during the 1980’s and 1990’s, organizing and running my own show for several years during the “turn of the century”; I now like to share what I’ve learned. Lately that’s been penny rugs.

I enjoy working with and collecting wool, new, used and vintage. Penny rugs are a great way to recycle and reuse any fabric. I have searched and researched penny rugs for many years and started a blog in 2007. Blogging is my way of sharing what I learn, getting it down in print so that I can pass it on and networking with others.

I have some great tutorials and patterns.

Please enjoy them, learn from them.

Remember, today’s handmade treasures are tomorrow’s treasured keepsakes.
